Emergency Aid Program
Sometimes communities need access to clean water and basic hygiene services on an urgent basis. With the ongoing global pandemic, this is more true than ever before. Through our Emergency Aid program, we assist communities across the globe who need immediate, short-term relief.

Please apply if you meet ALL of the following criteria:
- The relief work/project you are seeking support for is being led by a female, OR you are part of a female-founded grassroots non-profit
- Your work will specifically benefit women and girls and reach underserved communities that are currently in a state of emergency
- You are addressing an urgent need for safe water, sanitation or hygiene services
- You are responding to community needs that are a result of the COVID-19 pandemic
- You are located in a country that can legally receive funds from the US - please refer to this list if you are unsure whether or not your country qualifies or not
If you are accepted into our Emergency Aid program, you will receive up to $1,000 USD once per year. You will be required to send us receipts detailing the purchased products (if applicable) as well as submit high-resolution photographs and/or videos. Given the volume of applications we receive, only qualified applicants will be contacted. We thank you in advance for your efforts and look forward to supporting you.
